| | Calgary, AB, August 10, 2010 - CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an unsecured convertible redeemable debenture offering (the "Offering") of a minimum of 250 and a maximum of 500 of $5,000 principal amount debentures (the "Debentures") for total gross proceeds of a minimum $1,250,000 and a maximum $2,500,000. The Debentures will have a minimum subscription per subscriber of $10,000. The Debentures will bear interest at the rate of twelve per cent (12%) per annum, payable semi-annually on the last day of August and February, with the first interest payment commencing on February 28, 2011. The Debentures will have a term of 36 months (or 3 years) with a maturity date of August 31, 2013. The Debentures will be convertible at the holder's option into common shares of the Company at any time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price of $0.15 per common share in year one, $0.17 in year two and $0.19 in year three. The Company can redeem the Debentures at any time prior to the maturity date for, at the holder's option, either cash or common shares of the Company issued at the conversion price for that year. The Company can force conversion of the Debentures into common shares if the Company's common shares trade, on a 21 day volume weighted average basis, at or above a 25% premium to the conversion price for that year. The forced conversion of the Debentures is limited to 1/3 of the outstanding Debenture principal amount per year.
The Company expects the Offering to close on or around August 31, 2010. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the Company's buy-out of its partner in RAC Mining LLC, to purchase coal mining equipment and provide for general mine working capital.
A finder's fee equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross proceeds of the Offering may be paid on all or any portion of this Offering. Additionally, finder's warrants exercisable into common shares of CanAm may be issued in an amount equal to the quotient of nine percent (9%) of the gross proceeds on all or any portion of this Debenture Offering divided by $0.10.
